Prince Harry’s children moving school after two days over security concerns

The children of Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are to swap schools after just two days because of concerns over the security of transporting them, the couple’s spokesperson said on Monday (Sep 14). Last month, Harry, the younger son of King Charles, and his family relocated to Britain after six years of living in California, with Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, starting school in September. The location of their new home and details of the children’s school have been kept private. But on Monday, a spokesperson for the couple, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, confirmed reports that Archie and Lilibet were changing schools after just two days. The distance between their home and the original school, with heavy traffic in the area, had caused concern for their security team. “The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements,” the spokesperson said. “The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the …

Harry’s team blames King in furious rant as Uganda withdraws from Invictus Games | Royal | News

People close to Prince Harry have blamed a letter sent on behalf of King Charles for Uganda’s withdrawal from the Invictus Games. Uganda has pulled out of the Games, stating that it will not participate in any event without King Charles’s approval. A source close to Harry told ITV: “Intended or unintended, this is clearly a consequence of the Lord Chamberlain’s guidance regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that was rushed out without consultation on Monday. “Sadly, the only people who will suffer are the Invictus Games competitors,” they added. In the early hours of Wednesday (September 9), General Muhoozi Kainerugaba wrote on X that “Uganda hereby withdraws from the Invictus Games” because he did not want the country’s participation to be “construed as being opposed to His Majesty King Charles III of the United Kingdom, whom we deeply revere”. “We shall not participate in anything that does not have His Majesty’s approval,” General Kainerugaba, the son of the Ugandan president and head of the country’s armed forces, added.
